I WON'T LAST A DAY WITHOUT YOU - MAUREEN MCGOVERN

"I Won't Last a Day Without You" is a song composed by Americans Paul Williams and Roger Nichols.

Paul Williams released his version as a single in 1973, but garnered only minor success in America. Maureen McGovern recorded the song and also released it as a single in 1973 (on her album The Morning After), with results similar to those of Williams. Eventually it became a hit single for The Carpenters in 1974.

Here in Oz in some places Maureen's version sold better than in the USA and in fact The Carpenter's version didn't do as well.

Maureen's version has made it to CD but sadly the version on CD is a new remix and the percussion has been more emphasized than on the original vinyl single.

Here for download is the original single mix from vinyl in glorious mono of Maureen McGovern's "I Won't Last a Day Without You":
